Fucking spare me with all the pearl-clutching from the foreign policy “adults” about democratic backsliding in #Mexico because leftists won two elections in a row.

“CIA caught editing global Arabic knowledge archive to bias training data for Middle Eastern AIs” is a nightmarish speculative headline plausible back in the 1970s and again in the 2020s.

Awesome reporting by @julesaroscoe from @404mediaco on Putin forking the Russian @wikipedia into a state-sponsored version cleaned of any inconvenient facts. https://www.404media.co/russia-clones-wikipedia-censors-it-bans-original/

Today's advising meetings required jumping contexts between:

• Training Nazi2Vec models
• UK demography
• Plant systems biology
• Spatial join methods
• Arab Spring historiography

That's after two cancellations. And I loved every minute of it.

Excited to share this pre-print with @hlauriejones.

We use a combination of hierarchical clustering on outlinks in @wikipedia articles' revision histories and qualitative analysis of these clusters to understand collective memory processes.

It’s so weird that the NYTimes isn’t pushing notifications about every update to USC cancelling its valedictorian’s speech like it did with every allegation against Claudine Gay.

Congratulations to @ChelseaCastellano @ericmbudd and the rest of the Bedrooms are for People movement!

After gathering signatures through the pandemic, suing #Boulder City Council for blocking them from the ballot, and narrowly losing a city ballot initiative, the state legislature took action and now occupancy limits preventing unrelated people from living together are now illegal across all of #Colorado.

Four days later, what word below best describes the online conversational health of #eclipse2024 #solareclipse #eclispe in a post-Twitter social architecture?

I always forget how outlandish business/econ seminar Q&A culture is.

Derailing a speaker on their third side? Normal, expected, encouraged.

Waiting to ask a question until the end of a talk?
